Hard difficulty reduces your max HP by 40% (compared to Normal) and makes it harder to hit enemies.
Glass Cannon reduces your Max HP by 50% and gives you 2x as many AP.

Together they make the player squishier, but also let you dish out more damage in your turns.
So theoretically combat should take fewer turns.
